Default Newage Sti with Knocking front suspension
Getting some knocking from the front suspension on my newage. I know the rear struts are a problem but what about the fronts or could it be some thing else?

press down on the front of the car with the bonnet open and listen to the strut tops mate, mine are going on my classic.

Failing that, as Tommy says, check drop links, ARB and ball joints

nah, looking doesnt cost you anything, lol

Depends what the outcome is, but its not going to be expensive unless its strut tops, and it depends on what you class as expensive!

If it is droplink / bushes wont be expensive if it is suspension related it could get expensive check bushes / droplink first. Droplinks are popular on our Aberdeen roads as theres more potholes than road
